The 2020 report of the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care1 summarised the evidence for the association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and dementia, and added TBI to a list of 11 other modifiable risk factors for this condition. Several of these modifiable risk factors are also associated with cardiovascular disease (ie, hypertension, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and air pollution). In The Lancet Neurology, Saef Izzy and colleagues2 summarise the evidence for the association between brain injury—a term used by the authors to describe both TBI and repetitive head impacts (RHIs)—and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk factors. Cardiovascular disease is shown to be a modifiable mediator of the well documented association between brain injury and dementia. This notion is consistent with the evolving conceptualisation of TBI as a chronic disease, affecting multiple body systems and domains of health and function. 3 For this notion to be translated into actionable riskmitigation strategies at the individual level, it will be necessary to determine how, and for whom, some types of head trauma increase the risk for neurodegenerative and vascular brain pathologies. The pathways through which brain injury contributes to brain pathologies might differ according to the causes and patterns of the head trauma. In-vivo and post-mortem evidence suggests that the underlying pathologies of neurodegenerative disease seen in individuals with a history of head trauma can differ. Differences in cardiovascular risk factors (and consequent cerebrovascular disease) might also exist across subgroups with one or more types of head trauma.
